You may remember that I reviewed the Java-based Odesys Backgammon a while back, giving it a whopping 92%? I'd been meaning to take a look
at the chess equivalent for a while and was, if I'm honest, a little
reticent about showing off to the multiplayer world how hopeless I am
(relatively speaking) at the game. I was right to be reticent, but I
shouldn't have waited so long - it's a fabulous implementation of the
game...

Odesys Chess is available for almost any smartphone or feature phone, including all S60 and UIQ devices of all vintages.
